Wearing someone else's clothes

Hi guys,

Nope, it is not an illusion! I am actually wearing jeans :). This doesn't happen very often, but lately, with this rainy weather, jeans have become part of my daily uniform! The idea of this composition started with the shirt! I've had my eyes on this shirt for a while... in Alex's dressing! Yup, this is his shirt! I simply adore the print and fabric, I never seem to find such quality in women shirts (bummer)... The colors were beautiful also, and a perfect fir for my coat and hat. Talking about the coat: this is an old Zara coat, it had this military style that you can still notice if you look at the pockets and shoulders. And since I didn't quite enjoy that excessive military appearance, I decided to give it a little makeover. I replaced the buttons (it actually had 2 sets of big, gold buttons on each side, and I decided to stick with (and replace) only one of those sets. I'm happy with the result, as now I can go back to wear it more often. It was a pity, I really loved its color and shape, I had to do something to bring it back into my wardrobe. The bag was my Christmas present from Alex (the guy's got taste, what can I say) and the boots are a consequence of my last sales shopping spree :).

Enough about my little projects and guilty pleasures... I wish you guys a beautiful week ahead and sunny days. I've kinda had enough of this gloomy weather! It makes me want to hit the mall to cure my depression, and this is not acceptable because I'm actually trying to adopt this "no buy" challenge, to put money aside for my summer holiday... So please, let there be sun :)!
